Hi, our renovation is finally done except for air cond which will be after CNY. Now my house is full of dust and despite been cleaning it for 2 days, it's still dusty cry.gif Also, my floor still got white cement/plasters that drop on the floor and hardened on floor. How do I get these removed and also reduce the dust? Does the usual part time maid services we employed can get these done?

You can try a part time cleaner service I use. Good and honest. PM if you need the contact but it depends on where you are though. May not come to your place.

They can remove the plaster bits?

You just have to continue cleaning.

We're planning to move in soon but I'm sensitive to dust, so I'm looking for faster way to clear the dust. In fact when we're cleaning I have to wear mask to reduce the irritation to nose.

I heard there are some pro specially handle this kind of cleaning. Very expensive?

Try doing a search. Recall a least 2 guys offering their cleaning services in this forum.
If want cheaper alternative, get the Indo maids to clean. Anyway, after major renovation where hacking work was involved, it needs to be clean a few times before it can be considered habitable.

I've searched but not much topic on this, and no contacts too.

OK. did a quick search and these are what I found  smile.gif

Cleaning Service

Cleaning Service 2

Believe there could be a few others.....

Anyway, IMHO, after major reno work, will need a few rounds of cleaning. So, in my case, I used the part-time maids  smile.gif

Thanks, these links are helpful. Going to contact them tomorrow.

I was lucky, ask my main contractor to clean first round which include remove most of the cement, and major scrapping. Than ask maid come in to clean the grills, toilets and floor.

After that, took us (my wife and me) 3 weekends to slowly clean all the toilets, scrap the small cement / grout out from the tiles, white plaster and also some other tiny stuff.

After than run my US maid for few times a week to have the floor sweep clean.

Is not 100%, but I would say 90% clean now.

You have a good contractor... mine don't care at all.

Why wipe the newly painted walls? You could stain them in the process. Just use a duster to get ride of the dust, if any  smile.gif

I got wipe the walls cause too dirty. My contractor starts the painting before carpentary works and plaster ceiling, causing the dirty walls. So far no peelings.

i wonder if you do spray waters inside the house against the wall, floor and every where?  i found that to absolutely clean the floor, must spray it with water and some detergent...else there is no way to totally remove the dust by just mopping..

At first plan to do that, but neighbour auntie told us she did that and regret. Her walls ended up with unremovable water stains especially near the floor part.
